Whose space?

Tolmers Village Association exhibition panel, 1974

PANEL TEXT

Whose space? (2)

Tolmers Square itself is closed and derelict, fenced in by Stock Conversion. This space was originally designed as a garden for residents, inseparately related to the houses around. 

Greedy landords built a church over it, which they turned into a cinema. When they knocked it down only the efforts of the TVA prevented it becoming a commuter car park. 

The Square must become a garden again. The TVA demands that the council CPO the site and landscape it for local people.
